FIX (Maybe?) I put the keyboard aside for (about) a week. During this time the laptop when through a usual 'apt update/apt upgrade' process and reboot.
When I tried to subsequently re-pair the keyboard, the 'passcode dialog' stayed visible, and the keyboard paired. Considerations: - This laptop is not the fastest (i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz), and this time I waited after entering the passcode (and pressinbg enter) for the pairing to be successful. This took maybe 5-10 sec. I may not have been as patient in the first case and quit the pairing dialog to try again. - Deleting the detected entry for the keyboard in the Bluetooth list and getting it to be detected again, did not help. ** Description changed: UPDATE: I am creating this bug in case it comes back again. My Fix was to put the bluetooth keyboard aside for a week (not use it), then reconnect after the laptop had been rebooted after an update and daily use. I will post the things that I tried, just in case: 1) There is something I messed that someone else can suggest; and 2) it occurs for someone else. I suspect that it will happen again at some stage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am seeing this issue in Ubuntu 23.10. bluez 5.68-0ubuntu1.1 Hardware: Logi POP Keys https://www.logitech.com/en-au/products/keyboards/pop-keys-wireless-mechanical.920-011226.html I have managed to have it working in the past, but the 6-digit code pop- up disappears very quickly (as described, <1sec).
